Comparative Efficacy of Elinzanetant Versus Other Non‐Hormonal Pharmaceutical Therapies for the Treatment of Moderate‐to‐Severe Vasomotor Symptoms Associated With Menopause: A Network Meta‐Analysis

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Elinzanetant, a novel, dual neurokinin‐targeted therapy, has been approved in various geographies for the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause. Objective To compare the efficacy of elinzanetant with non‐hormonal pharmaceutical treatments (nHT) in alleviating VMS.

Activation of the neurokinin-1 receptor by substance P triggers the release of substance P from cultured adult rat dorsal root ganglion neurons

Molecular Pain, 2007
Background Although substance P (SP) is an important primary afferent modulator in nociceptive processes, it is unclear whether SP regulates its own release from primary sensory neurons.

Mechanism of kisspeptin neuron synchronization for pulsatile hormone secretion in male mice

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: The mechanism by which arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARNKISS) neurons co-expressing glutamate, neurokinin B, and dynorphin intermittently synchronize their activity to generate pulsatile hormone secretion remains unknown.

Essential Role of Histidine for Rapid Copper(II)-Mediated Disassembly of Neurokinin B Amyloid

Biomolecules, 2022
Neurokinin B is a tachykinin peptide involved in a diverse range of neuronal functions. It rapidly forms an amyloid, which is considered physiologically important for efficient packing into dense core secretory vesicles within hypothalamic neurons ...

The Origins of Allergy: An Outside‐In, Bioenergetic Hypothesis

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic disease has risen too rapidly for inherited susceptibility to explain it, and the risk variants so far reported lie in the epithelial barrier and in type‐2 immunity. We propose a five‐layer model in which epithelial barrier and bioenergetic dysfunction may precede and promote type‐2 immune deviation rather than arise solely as its ...

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

Comparative study of substance P and neurokinin A in gingival crevicular fluid of healthy and painful carious permanent teeth

Dental Research Journal, 2017
Background: It is shown that neuropeptides can be transported from pulp chamber to periodontal ligament through apical foramen and accessory canals. Therefore, clinical pulpal pain leads to expression of preinflammatory neuropeptides such as substance P (

Phloroglucinol inhibits human ureteral contractions via activation of cAMP‐PKA pathway

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Phloroglucinol is used to treat renal colic, especially when non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs are contraindicated. This study aimed to clarify its mechanism by examining effects on human ureteral contractility and underlying signalling pathways. Experimental Approach Urinary levels of neurokinin A (NKA), substance P
